Mr. Barnes, to everybody watching at home, I want you to know that the establishment is trying to rig this election. They want you to choose between their preferred candidate and also Republican billionaires are lining up to the tune of three and a half million dollars to choose a Democratic nominee in this race. I'm here to say that's bs. I've been a progressive fighter who's taken on the tough fights, but also the only candidate on this stage who's actually defeating Tom Tiffany. (56:25–56:32)
